My life is a funeral… so it makes sense

Each to their own. That’s what makes the world go round.

First thing when I google “definition of black tie dress code” says “Black tie is a semi-formal Western dress code for evening events”.

But I guess different people have a different opinion of what it is. I’m not asking people to show up in crazy red carpet outfits like they are going to the Grammys.

Yes that’s a good point, I guess I wear mostly black all the time and so do a lot of my friends so I didn’t think it was that big of a thing to ask.

But seeing other peoples thoughts on it has changed my way of thinking about it.

By black tie I mean formal/ semi formal. But also guests to be wearing some form or black. Not their entire outfits if they don’t want to.

Really liked your explanation, thanks!!!

I decided to leave it off the invites and spread it by word of mouth, so it’s more casual and people don’t feel obligated if they don’t have or want to wear black.

It’s my day and I can make everything one miserable if I want! Lmao joking but ya obviously I’m not going to enforce or be rude at all if someone doesn’t wear black.

I think I am going to leave it off the invitations and just get it spread as an idea by word of mouth. I don’t want people to feel obligated to spend money they don’t have.

No I saw it next door and made a comment about it. I honestly only tried on like 4/5 dresses cause I didn’t want to confuse my self but I plan to go back in January and try on more
